Modesty on Sleeping Cars.

II have just come from that painful lux

respondent of the Albany Argus. "How
incongruous and improper it was, for in

upper berth whose mildest remark in the
course of the long night was It's cursed hot

major general. By day he was a gorgeous

the splendid jewelry store OF Leyson &
Turck, on Main street, yesterday, he was
called in by one OF hetirm. Upon entering
the store the gentleman stepped up to
and presented him with a substantial
gift in the shape of a watch and chain, 'in
token of his faithful performance OF his
duties and promises to his patrons as a
bill-poster," and he also trusted that Fred
would be as regular and as truly on time
always as he "vouched for it that the
watch would be-" Fred accepted the gift
with a voice choking with feeling. and after
gratefully thanking his friends for the evil

sought his good wife to tell her and then
ran to tell The MINER reporter who was
dazzled by the brightness OF the gift.

Frank Doyle came nigh to losing his life
on Wednesday last. Graders were at work
on the railroad which is approaching
Walkerville and had occasion to blast
some rocks that were in the way proposed
for the road. The explosion, for some as
yet unexplained reason, loosed and threw
great 9OO-pound rocks a distance of fifty
feet. Three struck and shattered the house
of Doyle as we'll as the bed he was lying on.
And yet, miraculous as it seems, he escaped
unhurt, while house and furniture were bro

MOBILE, December 3O.-NeWs was re-
ceived here late last night OF the burning OF
the steamer Bradish Johnson, used as a

river, eleven miles above Mobile, on
Wednesday night. There is no telegraph

with her nose in the bank, and q gang

gave the following
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRE.
II had just gone to bed when l heard q
cry of fire. I rushed put into the cabin.
There had been a party of men out there
playing cards and they saw the smoke
rising. When I came into the cabin. the
fire seemed to be in the state Dom aft Of
the pantry, on the port side. The negroes
were mostly lodged on thelower deck. They
all came running forward about the same
time we got there. The vessel burned very
fast.

in a moment. When 1 had reached the
bank l turned around and saw the pilot
house fall in with the negroes. They fed
up the bank in a mob and rushed to the
woods, where they huddled like sheep, and
could not be persuaded to come down.
They knew that some of their number we're
lost in the burning boat and they were
seemingly
SUPERsTITIoUS ABOUT IT.
They did not want to 90 neal the place, go
the boat became a mass of flames and
burned for about an hour when she sank,
nothing but her jack-staff remaining
out of the water. As soon as
l got ashore there was a re-
port that there were men in the water,
the other side OF the stream. Skiffs were
manned and sent to their rescue. They
picked up Mr.. DAILY, one OF the Carson
men. VIM. Neal, an Englishman, in one OF
the skifts, had two negroes right near him,
but they sank out Of sight. He found a
white man. There is 10 telling how many

the Year 1886.

The MINER has taken great pains to lay
before it's readers on this, the last day of
the year 1886, a statement of the silver
bullion shipped during the last twelve
months from Butte. The figures below are
reliable and embrace all the silver bullion
shipped, except about some $4,000 or
$4,000 shipped by a company from Butte.
These shipments are by the Pacific Express
company, in this city. There are, besides,
quantities OF silver not embraced in these
figures which we're shipped in the ores sent
out as well as in copper matte sent out,
which, as nearly as can be estimated, will
swell the total at least one and a half or
two million dollars.

Reform.

Says a Washington letter to the Boston
Traveller: It is whispered here that a
number of the leaders of society have been
in consultation lately over the question Of
wearing hats and bonnets in the theater.
So much complaint has been made that
these ladies have determined to take some
positive steps looking towards q removal
Of the nuisance. Mrs. Cleveland was spo-
ken to about the matter, and gave the pro-
ject her emphatic and hearty endorsement.
She has promised to rumove her hat while
at the theater, and she will be followed by
other ladies high up in the social scale.
Before the winter is ended it is probable
that the entire downstairs portion of our
theatera will be q sea Of hatlesa heads.
